Hi. The members of this faire, like Taddeus Paleo, are wearing really good-looking tabards. Is there any way to have one in game? Tnx

Really wish there was some way to earn their Tabard. It's freaky cool, I'd love to have one ^_^

I was just thinking, which is the easiest way to earn tickets?If you are leatherworker it's pretty simple, , which gives 12 tickets. I guess the is kindda easy to obtain too, so that would be my second choice. Especially for higher level players. But this is all my speculations!Please, feedback! :)

Is it possible to get exalted with this faction, if yes, how do you do it and how long does it take?

Thanks in advance.

Comentario de Softcore

do all decks reward 350 rep or only the 70+ ?

for instance a rogues deck, according to wowhead it only rewards 25 rep, not sure if that information is dated or if i will have to spend "insane" amounts of gold to cap exalted with DMF.

Comentario de Biggrim

1680 rogues decks. Cheapest way to do it.

Comentario de nyalria

Not only is your math wrong by nearly an order of magnitude, you didn't take into account the additional cost of 3 Eternal Life per card combine. On my server that'd come out to approximately 100 decks * 8 cards/deck * 3 life/card * (5 to 10g /life in my AH) is between 12k and 24k gold. And trying to buy 2400 Eternal Life is significant enough to drive the price up. There's not even 100 on my server's AH as I type this. Hell... the roughly 100 decks * 8 cards/deck * 1 parchment/card * 40s/parchment is trivial yet 320g is a lot to spend on scraps of paper.

These examples are of course small compared to the 4000+ stacks of herbs likely to be needed.

Another note: If you are going this route though you will produce quite a few cards. This will even out the random distribution but with the 32 possible cards to create it is unlikely that you will create perfect even sets of 8s and either have to overshoot production to reach your target or buy cards to fill gaps. I don't have the statistics knowledge handy in my brain to figure out how that works though.

From my calculations (weee another spreadsheet of OCDness) the pure cost of doing Darkmoon Cards of the North is not likely to make it the cheapest. Alternative decks may cost half as much to get you to exalted. My calculations lead me to believe it's about 0.36 rep per herb for North cards, which is only slightly above rep/herb for mages, swords, and demons decks. Rogues and classic Darkmoon decks hit about 0.9 rep/herb. TBC decks are around 1.45 rep/herb but also require 3 primal life.

However, using these cards does have some real advantages over the other decks:Instead of turning them in, sell the Nobles decks at several times their value in components and thus helping significantly to fund the project.Good availability of Northrend herbs on AH since of course a lot of people spend a lot of time in Northrend.Turning in Rogue's decks with the Darkmoon Teller takes at least 350/25 = 14 times as long.Good supply of filler cards if you have gaps in your sets.

I'm estimating, at a minimum, to spend 30k on this achievement. I do my shopping with target goals of spending 1 rep/gold. And I thought the few thousand I spent on Thorium Brotherhood and Shendralar was excessive at the time...

My rogue is level 42, slowly closing in on her only purpose in life in the bleak landscape of Tyr's Hand or wherever is best for such things . I am insane though, so it's okay.

Comentario de cranberryrt

On the PTR these decks are BOE, so if you can get people to trust you, you can turn em in for other people. Also means the sets can be disenchanted by a friend if youre not ench. With the low cost of decks like the Chaos deck and the perma-high cost of ench mats (esp. Abyss crystal, assuming thats what they dis into) this will make it a lot cheaper rep to get.

Comentario de Sessa

The rewards from turning in the decks are BoE now, so turning in the 60+ decks is now an efficient way of grinding rep as you can resell the reward via auction house. The low level deck rewards are also BoE, and are gold efficient as well.

Comentario de autolycus

By far the worst rep grind you could ever possibly do. This faction alone should yield the insane title.

Comentario de wasniahC

Note that to get exalted will not cost as much as you might expect, if you use 80 decks! 60 decks and 70 decks lead to a BoP trinket reward, but after turning in the 80 decks, you can sell the trinket on to somebody else :)

Comentario de NymphetamineOD

My strategy for exalting this was obtaining(either buying or farming) one of every epic deck, turning each of those in, with exception of Nobles since it yields 4 rewards, and then spamming /2 trading the trinket corresponding to the deck+ a trivial amount of gold for just the deck back.

Comentario de altans

when its the starting day anyone know what time it will start?

Comentario de Avsharek

actually, i think, that the best way how to do this, is buying the chaos decks and rogues deck. Chaos deck costs around 250 g on my realm, rogues around 5-10, depends on the seller.You can easily sell the trinket afterwards, i mean the berserker ones. Dont worry about them, you can sell them best while the darkmoon is not present, cause people dont want to wait for the faire to come ;)So imo combining rogues deck + chaos or undeath decks is the way.

Comentario de Mugunge

To all the people who want to get exalted with this faction:

Since i havent seen this mentioned yet, id like to point out that all the epic trinkets have been BoE the last 2-3 patches.

What this means is that you can buy decks at a reasonable price, wait for the Faire, hand them in for 350 rep each and then resell without much of a loss. If you bought the decks cheap enough you might even make a profit. You can do the grind to exalted the expensive way with rogue cards etc but this is really the cheapeast and easiest way to exalted, just takes a bit longer.

As an example i bought around 28 decks (mostly level 80 decks but a few 70 and 60 also) the past month and handed all of them in for around 9k rep. It "only" cost me 9k g to buy all the decks and so far ive made a very nice profit from selling just a few cards (talking more than 2k g profit) and ill probably profit from the rest too. So to me this is the best way since i dont have to do much except check the AH every day for a few months.

Comentario de Kazeijin

I recently did a turn in of dense grinding stones to get the 2k/6k friendly turn in cap (until decks), and on my last dense grinding stone turn in, it pushed me to 2005 friendly. This being said, it may be a good idea for people who want to get this reputation to exalted to use rogue decks to get Darkmoone as close to 2k friendly (without hitting 2k), then use a turn in to push it over cap, much like what happened with me. It saves you less than an epic deck worth in rep, but its still an easy few hundred rep.

Comentario de jimmyego

Turned in all my decks for exalted today, the day after Halloween. As it happened I had the Invocation of the Wickerman from killing a Wickerman Guardian on Halloween. As a human it buffed my rep to 420 per turn in, so I ended up with decks left over. Assuming this (and the Insane Title) are still going next year, I'd recommend on planning around the rep buff for optimal turn-ins.

All decks that are epic (60, 70, 80) reward 350 reputation. The other decks, such as Rogues, Swords, etc. award 25 reputation per turn-in.

Save the decks for when you reach 2000/6000 friendly. Prior to that, do the repeatable quests at the Darkmoon Faire. The materials required for those quests are much cheaper and easier to get than extra decks.

A strategy someone suggested much further down is that, for the 70 and 80 decks, since the rewards are BoE, buy the deck, turn it in for the reputation, then sell the card.

This post is just here to sum everything up into one tidy spot. Credit goes to the others on the page.

Comentario de kurtiffrig

OK, if you're chasing the "Insane In The Membrane" achievement you'll DEFINITELY want to change one of your careers to Inscription. Why? Because they make Darkmoon Cards and cards are the only path to exalted once you're past the low level turn-ins. If you want a good pairing for Inscription, choose Herbalism. Herbalists can farm the plants you'll need to make the inks for Darkmoon cards.

Don't expect this to be a quick process and definitely don't believe it's gonna be cheap. You may even want to create an alt character on the opposite side just to take advantage of a better auction house economy (same realm of course). I've found that Alliance cards are about half the price of Horde on Agamaggan.

Definitely one of the most difficult groups to become exalted with and no reward in the end other that a small piece of the Insane achievement.

Comentario de Tropix

You might ask yourself:How many 350 rep yielding decks do you need to turn in from 2000/6000 to get exalted?

My calculations say:4000 rep to honored + 12000 rep to revered + 21000 to exalted = 37000 rep. 37000/350 = 105.7 (the reputation divided by the amount of rep you get from each hand in)

When rounded it is 106 decks.

You can turn in the same deck 106 times.

Good luck

Comentario de necreus

For all the folks going for "Insane", I agree with MAVC completely. There are **plenty** of different ways to collect the herbs/inks for Exalted status. However, if your only goal is to get exalted and you're not trying to get anything else on the side, your best bey BY FAR is the Rogues Decks.

You only need 3 rare pigments per deck as opposed to 8 or 10 rare pigments for the other cards, and it'll give you the least amount of excess cards.

Bruiseweed and Stranglekelp give the best yield of Verdant pigment. If you have a herbalist with waterwalking, I highly recommend farming stranglekelp along the coast. It's the only herb that'll grow in those spots so you won't have to waste time passing up or farming other herbs.

Happy hunting!

Look im not 100% on this yet but if your looking to getting darkmoon faire up to exaulted then cata might of just helped (ALOT) http://www.wowhead.com/spell=86609#comments:id=1195412 Blizzard created this because scribes didnt have anywhere to dump there ink anymore after making glpyhs stay with you instead of getting destroyed when changed. This spell which can make around 56ish diffrent cards will be heavly used as it has a chance to make scribes very wealthy, if this spell is a % drop on the rare ones... the common cards will become so cheap to buy that darkmoon faire would quite possibly br made a walkthrough compared to before. so hang tight guys and we shall see.

Comentario de Mosg

@Azzeratwell:

I disagree that this is going to help the rep grind at all. It's going to be more efficient for you to take your Blackfallow Ink and turn that into Inferno Ink than it would be to make these cards and hope for cash. All this is going to do is drive up the price of herbs a bit and also drive up the price of Blackfallow Ink that does land on the AH.

Comentario de Dreadmight

For those of you who are working for the cards/decks yourself rather than buying everything, Swamp of Sorrows is the place to be- with the reordering of leveling zones, this zone is chock full of Golden Sansam and Sorrowmoss, which is what Plaguebloom became when it got moved out of the Plaguelands. It's densely packed with herb nodes of both kinds- just doing five quests or so on my rogue with herbalism has yielded me two stacks of each.

Comentario de Mosg

The problem with farming Swamp of Sorrows is twofold:

1. If you assume you can farm up one stack of Sorrowmoss in 10 minutes (about what I found while farming there on a ground mount) you need 2120 stacks of Sorrowmoss to make 106 decks--And that's not taking into account how many extra cards you'll have to make due to variance. In any case, even if you only have to make the exact amount of cards you're talking about 353 hours of straight farming. Even if you wanted to be super optimistic and go with 5 minutes per stack, which is unrealistic considering I can clear the zone on my ground mount before anything respawns and then have to wait ~5-10 minutes for respawns, you're talking about 176 hours of straight farming. That's a little over 7 straight days of farming.

2. The variance with having 32 possible cards is huge. You're more likely to have to mill somewhere around 3000 stacks of herbs to get the cards you need. That's optimistic.

I've done the math on all of the different decks and Rogues continues to win out. The low variance due to only having 3 cards is *huge*. Once Cata launches just go out and farm Bruiseweed and Stranglekelp on your epic flyer.

Comentario de viega

If your guild has the 5% rep perk, the decks give around 367 rep each. Surprisingly people on my server are buying the decks I resell for 300-700g. Not bad.

Comentario de Nyni

**Edit** This was from the OLD Darkmoon faire. The one pre-4.3, but I see people still able to get the decks so I'm sure you could still turn these in.

Decks with their Rewards, and Ticket Prizes from the Darkmoon Faire:(All Decks are from Inscription creating random cards from a deck and Ace, 2, 3, ect. must be combined to create a deck.)(Darkmoon Prizes are from Tickets earned from making certain products from professions.)

Comentario de jerrard

Another piece of math to keep in mind is that no matter what combination of rep buffs you have (human, Wickerman, Pilgrim, guild perk, etc.) it always takes exactly 14 lesser decks to equal the rep gain from turning in one epic 60-85 deck.On my server, the "unused" decks sell for a very high amount, and the 60-80 cards sell for about 20% what the decks do. So the rogues decks are the way to go.

Speaking of revamped zones, the new Thousand Needles is a farmer's paradise. You get a diving helmet that allows full-speed riding along the seafloor, and there's hundreds of Stranglekelp nodes. It takes roughly 20 stacks of seaweed, plus a trip to the AH to even out the piles, to get 14 decks, and I can usually come up with that much seaweed in 1½ to 2 hours.

Happy Farming!

Comentario de Lucilite

I know that wowhead lists Darkmoon Faire rep as only counting towards 1 achievement: Insane in the Membrane, which I will never try for.

But what I'm wondering is, does getting Exalted with Darkmoon Faire count towards all the step-achievements up to & including 50 Exalted Reputations ?

Comentario de SnowyIVu

tl;dr: If you are grinding, not buying your rep, vanilla epic decks are slightly faster than rogue decks, and much better than any other low level / epic decks.

Since I haven't seen any math/facts on the subject, I'd like to point out something for those interested in grinding this achievement rather than buying the decks. (Yes, it's insane, might be why you're here)

As you can see, excluding BC epics (primal life, yuck), classic decks have the best herb-to-rep ratio. Having to get 8 of 32 cards for a deck tosses a little more pain into that equation, but I personally think Icecap/Mountain Silversage is a lot less painful to grind than Bruiseweed and Stranglekelp - AND it's more bang for your buck.

So if you're broke and have a ridiculous amount of time on your hand, head to winterspring instead of stranglethorn.

Comentario de marcx77

Posting this up here, because I found quite a bit of wrong and/or incomplete information in this thread. There's a lot of debate as to which method of gaining reputation is the fastest. I'll clearly demonstrate which is the best option in this post. The working assumption here is that you create Darkmoon decks and gather your own materials.

(Apologies for the lack of links; I reached the 7500 character limit. I'll try and clean up this post later)

How many cards do I need?Starting out at 2000/6000 friendly and aiming for 999/1000 exalted, you need 37999 rep. The base rep for epic darkmoon decks is 350, and for rogues decks 25. This means that a non-human without guild perks needs 109 epic decks or 1520 rogues decks, or a mix thereof.

An issue with creating decks is that you'll inevitably get duplicates. This is a much greater issue with epic decks than with the rogue decks, because there are 32 different epic cards (per "expansion") and only 3 different rogue cards.

I ran a simulation (10000 passes of randomly generating cards, as a function of the amount of decks needed) and found out how many cards, on average, you need per deck, given a total amount of needed decks. The table at the bottom of this post shows the results for epic decks. So if, for instance, you need 93 more decks (like I do at the time of writing), you can look up that you need, on average, 10.61 cards per deck, or a total of 10.61*93=987 cards. Note that this is 33% more than the number of cards you'd need in an ideal situation (i.e.: no dupes)!

With rogues decks, this effect is much, much smaller. I'm not posting a table here, but my sim shows that with increasing numbers of decks needed, the percentage of extra cards required quickly drops to below 2% and even below 1% for 1500ish cards, which is all but negligible.

My sim also shows very clearly that it's extremely wasteful to mix different sets of darkmoon decks (classic, TBC, WotLK, Cata). If you need 100 decks and you're aiming for 25 decks of each set, the sim shows that you need 13.47 cards per deck, which means 68% wasted cards! So the message is loud and clear: stick to one type of decks!

How many herbs do I need?I'm going to disregard TBC and WotLK decks here, because those require eternal/primal life, which are very annoying to get these days. I'm also disregarding the Demons deck, Mages deck and Swords deck, as these all require more than twice the amount of herbs than Rogues decks.

Without giving the calculation, here are the amounts of relevant inks you get per stack and the consequent number of stacks per card:

Clearly, Cata decks require many more herbs than the other two. They also require a lot of volatile life, which you'll likely not be able to farm completely while you're herbing. If you're looking to make money from the decks then by all means, go for Cata herbs, but when you want to farm as few hours as possible, they are not an option.

That leaves us with either classic decks or rogues decks.

Classic decks:This is where the table below comes into play again. To determine the amount of herbs needed, you need to look up the amount of cards per deck corresponding with the amount of decks you need. As per my example given above, I need 93 decks which require 93*10.61=987 cards to get full exalted. At 2.5 stacks per card, I'm looking at 987*2.5=2468 stacks of herbs.

Rogues decks:You need 14 times as many rogues decks as epic decks (25 rep instead of 350), which means I need 1302 decks, which requires 3906 cards. Adding 1% for duplicates (as explained above), the total amount of cards I need is 3945. At 0.5 stacks per card, I need to gather 0.5*3945=1973 stacks of herbs.

Gathering speedIt would seem that rogues decks are the clear choice here. But the final factor that comes into play is how quickly you can gather the required herbs. This is where the classic decks come out ahead again. In Winterspring, as a druid herbalist with 280% flight speed, I can reliably herb 30-31 stacks per hour, provided I'm the only one there, which is almost always. The best option for gathering herbs for rogues deck by far is stranglekelp in Thousand Needles. To match Winterspring herbing for efficiency, I'd need to gather 24 stacks of stranglekelp per hour. Even with glyphed aquatic form, at most I'll get 10-15 stacks per hour. The only other viable option is Swamp of Sorrows, which provides Sorrowmoss. The problem here is that not every node is Sorrowmoss, some are Golden Samsam, which only yields half of the required pigments. In Winterspring, every single node is either Icecap or Mountain Silversage.

ConclusionWinterspring herbing is the best option if you want to farm as few hours as possible. To calculate how many hours you need to farm, determine three things:

D=Decks needed

C=Cards per deck required (from the table)

S=Stacks farmed per hour

The amount of hours of farming required is then obtained by filling in the following formula:

T=D*C*2.5/S

My case example: T=93*10.61*2.5/30=82 hours

Just for completeness, if you want to compare the amount of hours farming stranglekelp, use:

Comentario de Sethala

If you plan on making epic decks for rep, find a friend or two that's also doing the Darkmoon grind, and trade cards back and forth whenever you're short some for a deck. Chances are you'll be able to help each other get the right cards.

Even if you don't have a friend, the AH is a decent stand-in. Keep an eye out for any cards you're short on, and sell off the cards you've got too many of.

Comentario de Sophos

I made an extremely useful tool to help you with the Insane title. This spreadsheet will:1) Tell you how many more decks, cards, herbs, inks, full inventories you need for Darkmoon2) Let you specify what rep bonuses you have such as human, guild perk3) Specify an acceptable CPR cost per rep you want4) Tells you, based on the CPR, what price you should buy all of the component items from the AH5) Lets you keep track of all the cards you have6) Shows you the rep/herb rep/gold per deck: lvl 60 decks and rogues decks are your best bet

How to use this most effectively:Get the addon called Auctioneer. In the Auctioneer search function, choose the snatch feature and add all of the items in the ink and herb tables with the "Buy <" price. To get all of the item links you may need to find them first with the general search > snatch item button.

edit: This link should be public to the web sorry about that. This is a newer version but I don't have the time right now to convert it to another format. I would need to fix all the tables.

Comentario de Marloss

Thank you for the tremendously helpful post, marcx77!

Regarding the Rogues decks; according to Wowhead, both Stranglekelp and Bruiseweed have a 50% chance of containing Verdant Pigment, while the rest - Briarthorn, Mageroyal and Swiftthistle - have a 25% chance of containing Verdant Pigment.

Like you yourself pointed out, Thousand Needles is too far behind for it to be competitive. You also say that Thousand Needles is by far the best option to farm for Rogues decks. Are you entirely certain on this? I haven't tried and compared myself, but Hillsbrad Foothills seems like a strong alternative, like someone else already has pointed out. I have been going through that zone twice for herbalism leveling purposes, and there are herbs litterally everywhere. One also get more herbs per node, taken Swiftthistle into consideration. Additionally, the zone also contains Bruiseweed.

I think this is worth looking into.

You may be getting 55 stacks per hour, but the mill rate of verdant pigment is only 25% for Mageroyal, Swiftthistle, and Briarthorn. Only Bruiseweed is 50%. You'd have to factor that into the math formula to compare to gathering all Stranglekelp.Even if all of the herbs in Hillsbrad Foothills had a mill rate of 25% for Verdant Pigment, it would be equal to 27.5 stacks when compared to Winterspring herbs. As marcx77 pointed out in his post, at least 24 stacks/hour of Rouges herb is needed in order to beat the Wintergrasp herb farming. Considering this at least 29 stacks' worth, it obviously beats it by quite the margin.

Edit: I have been farming herbs in Winterspring for three hours now, following marcx77's route map. These were my first three hours, so naturally it took some time to adapt to the route since you are stopping frequently to see where to go next. I was averaging on 27 stacks/hour using flight form with 280% flight speed. Well within the RNG margin while also taking the 'learning process' into account, I'd say.

Comentario de Alacrity

Some additional comments to marcx77's epic post:

When factoring in the time it takes to do this, consider that milling and converting your pigments to ink is time consuming in itself. For every hour you spend gathering herbs, expect to spend 10-20 minutes in milling and making ink. (More if you convert the silvery pigment into shimmering ink).

Making something out of said shimmering ink (glyphs or scrolls or whatever) is even more time consuming.

More time-consuming still is the process of selling (and re-listing) those glyphs or scrolls.

Once you've flooded the market with those glyphs or scrolls, they become even more de-valued and make it even less worthwhile over time.

TL;DR: Vend the silvery pigments and be on your way. Don't waste your time making inks and glyphs, because you're probably not doing this to make money.

Also included is the map I made similar to marcx77's, with the gatherer nodes I've listed after following his route a few times.

Two circuits takes about 75 minutes

Gathers about 30 stacks (280 flight, no Tauren, with guild perks for flying and gathering)

Now that Darkmoon Faire has been revamped, it'll probably be one of the easiest grinds, in terms of work that you have to do

(This is with the rep guild perk, non-human)During the 7 days a month its up, you get 5 dailies per day that give 275 rep apieceThis is 1,375 rep/day9,625 rep for the entire weekWhich is the equivalent to turning in 25 epic decks

Starting at 0/3000 neutral, you need 42,000 rep to hit 0/999 exalted, which will take 4.36 months (5 months)

Maximum Rep and Tickets per Faire from new quests:

14000 (unmodified) Rep 150 Darkmoon Prize Tickets

With the new quests (and not counting deck turn-ins), you can earn maximum of 14000 (unmodified) rep and 150 tickets with Darkmoon Faire each month, and these can be earned every Faire. You can also get 5 tickets (and possibly rep, haven't confirmed) for looting the chest in the Deathmatch Pavilion, limited only by the number of events during one Faire...and by the raid group from that PvP guild that's farming the trinkets just for kicks...but this post is focused on rewards all players can earn every Faire, so I'm not including those in the overall count. More power to you if you speed through on these. Also, I will be updating this comment as games and/or events are added to the Faire.

Profession Quests: Each awards 250 rep and 4 tickets (for primary professions) or 3 tickets (for secondary professions) 1 time per Faire, and you can complete 1 per trained profession for 6 total quests.

The mentioned bug may have had something to do with the darkmoon faire occuring the first of the month. Apparently monthly quests reset every month at 00:00 UTC, not realm time. So players on EU realms must wait a few hours before they become available.

Around midnight CET I couldn't do any monthly quests on the island. Now I can :) I am only honored with Darkmoon faire though.

The Darkmoon Faire always starts on the first Sunday of each month at 12:01 AM server time, and runs for one week (until the following Saturday at 11:59 PM server time),

Just entered this morning at 1:15 a.m. on Terrokar server, and it seems all the "Profession" quests are not there anymore-which I've been doing every month on the first day it starts as with turning in the quest finds.

Hopefully this will get fixed.

**edit**

I've bee told that a patch bug struck the faire-oh noes!

Ok, went back at 11:50am on Terrokar server and the profession quests are up again.

when you enter the darkmoon island through the portal, you see a critter hopping around in the area behind the portal - a white rabbit.

"follow the white rabbit" is a popular quote from the movie "the matrix" (1999)and yet another pop culture reference.

Leaving a character in the faire after it ends now makes you automatically teleport to where the exit would leave you (ie, Mulgore for the horde) once you log in.

I love the Darkmoon Faire and had this massive "cheat sheet" that eventually turned into a guide, Darkmoon Faire Made Easy. Hopefully it will help spell out all the FAQs people have. :)

The fastest way to open the chests on Darkmoon Arena is to click on gate 9-10 seconds after announcement. Check on video this ninja style (Unfortunately there was not so much people):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97gMLg7Rc7M

Remember to purchase ride tickets from Kae Ti at the Darkmoon Carousel. You get the buff WHEE! that grants you exp/rep gains increased by 10%. (The longer you ride the longer the buff is applied to you. Up to 60min.) This applies to the DM and your guild (and everywhere else). So do this BEFORE turning in any DM quests that grant you rep. Every little bit helps.

Shipwreck debris seems to have vanished as of 6 Sep 13.

Can you do more than two Profession quests per week? I'm gonna be switching professions anyways so figured I'd ask before I farmed the mats for them all.

Strange... I've found a subterranean cave entrance at 74,29, 34,53 while I was fishing those boxes around. It is close to fatigue zone, and the most weird, you can swim around there and BREATHE under the water. Didn't find anything in it at the moment I came in, but dunno if its for some kind of new blizz rare spawn or I'm mistaken.

PS: Theres a shipwreck right on top of the cave, you'll don't miss it.

Does anybody know why July is the last darkmoon faire in the ingame calendar? Every other event except the faire is noted there throughout the year.
